It's saddening to know that a lot of people have optimistic ideas on these problems in the US, but the solution to these problems aren't as easy as they think they are. People still believe in this "American Dream", but it isn't as easy to obtain as it was back then. And when facing the massive poverty percentage of the economy in the US, people believe that its easy to get out, but it's definitely not. There seems to be a on going thought process behind the beliefs of Americans, one that is unrealistic and not helping solve these issues.  I think the main problem is that people don't know what's really going on and just make assumptions and "optimistic ideologies" about these situations that most people are experiencing. I hope that in the future we will educate people on these issues and how to help solve them in ways that will actually work.

My American dream is to go to a good college and pursue the career I’m passionate about, which is pretty similar to my parent’s. College is a much greater part of it for me than them.

Major factors enabling me to accomplish this are having the opportunity to go to a good school and focus on my education, and having the support from my family to do so.

Things that could get in the way if it are money, other responsibilities, and losing access to the resources and support I have now
